Several McDaniel College students fall ill with gastroenteritis symptoms

Campus officials at McDaniel College in Westminster alerted students to take precautions after several students fell ill with symptoms of gastroenteritis.

Campus officials said 40 students became ill with gastroenteritis symptoms over a two days, and a few of them went to the emergency room on their own. Additional students went to the campus Wellness Center with similar symptoms.

The Wellness Center has since extended its hours for students who need immediate medical care in regard to flu-like symptoms.

No students have been hospitalized.

"Although gastroenteritis should be taken seriously, it should not be cause for panic. The prognosis is excellent, and the symptoms usually resolve in two to five days," an email to the campus community read.
